Perhaps what is equally as important as rooting for your national team is what you are eating and drinking during the matches. While Thailand hasn’t qualified, and whose cuisine I will sadly miss, you can still celebrate the other 31 teams in style. This morning, I sipped on a lovely Graham Beck Brut Rose (SA) while downing some chipotle bacon with rasberry pancakes doused in agave syrup. The Tecate was on ice, but since the match was level, I decided to wait for the Uruguay vs. France outcome to let it loose. Champagne with churrasco? What a match. Tomorrow’s anticipated England vs. USA. Bangers and mash, fish and chips, hot dogs, burgers, and beer baby, lots of beer. Also tomorrow, South Korea vs. Greece – surf and turf. Lots of saganaki, tsatsiki and taramosalata followed by kimchi and bulgogi. Retsina and Soju, painful no matter who wins.
